There are a number of factors. First we look to which strategic countries are relevant to the RCMP and keeping Canadians safe. Second, security is a huge issue. We do not deploy our liaison officers to areas of the world that are particularly dangerous. There are places where we are already deployed that are dangerous; however, we work with our DFATD colleagues in providing security for personnel there. Security of the embassy is the responsibility of DFATD.
There are dangerous places in the world for our liaison officers, but security is always at the forefront of any deployment we do.
